PooleProof Wisdom: Conversations Featuring David Kim, President and CEO, IAMBIC Group
Beyond the Headlines: Stopping AAPI Hate Now In this episode, we revisit the ongoing issue of violence against Asian and Pacific Islander people that grabs fewer headlines today, but remains a real and painful reality. In a recent national report – issued in August and representing incidents through June -- Stop AAPI Hate, an organization formed after an alarming escalation in xenophobia and bigotry against Asian and Pacific Islander people in the US, reported that the number of incidents reported to its center increased to 9,081 from 6,603 between April and June. Of all incident reports, 4,548 hate incidents occurred in 2020 and 4,533 of hate incidents happened in 2021. These attacks ranged from physical assault to verbal harassment, to online harassment, to civil rights violations. David Kim, our guest, weighs in with personal experience, some answers about why many in the community had once opted not to report incidents, and insights about why personal safety, freedom, equity, and respect should be available to us all.
